“Lhahat-um!”

Diana’s raspy voice broke the silence of the tiny oasis. Though her parched throat only released a voice that was no different from an adult’s whisper, it still held a lot of weight when Diana especially poured thirty percent of her remaining magic energy in.

Lhahat-um. This was a spell that Diana often heard from her witch friend a lifetime ago. It was said that the spell was created to destroy only one thing—a spell’s formation.

Without the eye of a spell’s formation or spell’s array, the spell would not immediately be broken but it would give a loophole, easing all the restrictions placed in the spell. In short, it was a spell specifically created to destroy another spell.

The fluctuation around Diana increased. Ripples appeared on the pond as the pebbles in it started to tremble. Hot waves circled the small oasis, swaying the ankle-length grass around the small oasis.

Sixty seconds…

One hundred and twenty seconds…

Three hundred seconds…

    As soon as the gigantic scorpions appeared, Diana increased the energy output of the Scepter of Fate.She had come this far. There was no way in hell that she would let Shananel take this round!Determination burned in Diana’s eyes as she took a step forward. The tip of the Scepter of Fate was merely three inches away from the pebbles in the small pond.As cracks littered on the surface of the pebble, the entire desert started to tremble as if an earthquake ensued. This was a sign for Diana to keep moving forward… to keep attacking the eye of the array.Not minding the incoming pincers that hovered over her, Diana raced against time. Slowly, shadows loomed over her as the heavy stench of the scorpion’s mouth blew over Diana.Screech!Diana chose to finish it quickly rather than disrupting the flow right now or it would only backfire and she would have to start from scratch. She did not have the reserve for that. And definitely, she did not have the luxury of time to restart. Diana had

    It took Diana a good five-minute sprint before she reached the area. As she became closer and closer to her target place where Soleyah and the others were, the snowy ground she traveled past was littered with broken trees and bushes.What stood out for her were the remnant footprints on the snowy ground!There were wolf prints and a massive unidentified print that brought Diana’s heart into a frenzy.‘This is not good.’Diana’s wolf howled, begging to be let go. It was agitated by something Diana did not know.Clearly, the closer she was to the location, the greater the damage the area was.Next, there were scattered remnants of blood. Sniffing the air, Diana immediately recognized the bright red blood. A frown cracked her grim face when she smelled the dark-colored blood.‘Shananel, what have you done? You really dared to mess with the natural order of the world? Are you not afraid of the gods and the goddesses who created us? Damn, what were you thinking?’Diana screamed her questio

  • Rejected Luna's Vengeance    Desperation Equates Miracles

    “Please, I beg you…” Alpha Adrian laid Talia gently beside Soleyah. His eyes were staring at Diana as if she was his last saving straw amid the malevolent storm brewing in his heart. “Please, save her. I can pay the price! No matter what the price is, just save her.”Adrian, as an alpha who had participated in the massive witch hunt years ago, knew of the greatest spells of the witches that would enable them to create miracles in exchange for something. He had heard of a witch pulling someone from death’s grasp in exchange for the vitality of that dead person’s loved one’s vitality.With this, Adrian still held on hope in front of Diana—the last known witch he knew aside from Talia.Being the recipient of such hopeful eyes, Diana felt that something was blocking her throat, preventing her from telling Adrian the cruel truth that hope was nearly impossible in this moment. But Diana could not say it, because she herself wanted desperately to hold onto hope no matter how tiny it was.Dia

    “Soleyah!”“Talia!”As soon as two pairs of trembling eyelids opened up, the men crowded the two patients immediately.Diana, who had her energy depleted to its last percentile, swayed. Her vision dimmed for a fraction of a second. “Are you alright, Luna Diana?”It was Alpha Rhys’s dark gray eyes that welcomed Diana as soon as she stabilized her footing. On instinct, her hand found its way to her belly, caressing it as she checked for her unborn child. Though she was pale already earlier, the ashen look she had right now was way worse than a few moments ago—she was that scared for neglecting her child.After all, what Diana did was a gamble. It was her desperate attempt against Shannanel’s calculations.Though she succeeded the fear of losing her child and not knowing how to face her mate hit her late.Swallowing the clog in her throat, Diana stood up straight and took a step away from Alpha Rhys while maintaining a polite smile. “Talia is fine aside from exhaustion.

    Two silhouettes lingered amid the darkness.The moon was now covered with clouds, leaving nothing but sheer darkness between the two. Although they were alone outside, there were hundreds of pairs of ears listening attentively inside the heated hut—giving the two the so-called privacy on the surface.Diana and Talia did not care. After all, there was no conspiracy between them, but brewing emotions accumulated for two lifetimes.Diana’s head throbbed ever since she saw Talia’s toothy grin. Like a fog being dissipated in front of her, the veil slowly disappeared. The faceless ‘witch friend’ in Diana’s memory finally had a face.It was Talia.It was her all along.“Why?” So many words left unsaid. No matter how much Diana wanted to express her swirling pit of emotions, she could only come up with one question: why?Why tell her now?Did she also forget about Diana?Was

    Soleyah was the first one who broke the dead silence in the cottage by clearing her throat. Scanning the crowd, the six alphas had a somber mood. Soleyah was not stupid by all means. In fact, she had a vague understanding of what Talia and Diana talked about outsideThough she may not know Diana and Talia long enough, she could guess that Diana met Talia in her previous life (?)‘I don’t know.’ Shaking her head, Soleyah decided not to dig deeper into it. After all, everyone had their fair share of secrets. What was important right now was to regroup with the Blood Claws Pack and the Black Ridge Pack.Only then could they implement Plan A.On cue, Soleyah remembered the disgrace that she had encountered with her wolf when fighting that hybrid. Just imagining the enemy to have an army of that beast was enough to make her skin crawl.Soleyah’s wolf, Aria, growled at the back of her mind. It could not accept that its prestige was tarnished because its human counterpart was feeling the ico

    It was not only Diana who noticed it. Talia, whose perception ability was recovered, heard it too.The two witches, who could sense the slightest snap of a twig beyond any alpha’s sharp senses, froze and looked sharply at one direction with a second interval between them. The rear wolves, especially Jaxon and Liam who were keeping an eye on the ladies, noticed the sudden change of posture immediately.‘What is wrong?’ asked Alpha Liam through the mind-like between him and his mate.Talia’s emotions were immediately ‘felt’ by her six mates. Her emotions were that strong to be able to bypass the isolation spell she cast on herself to temporarily block the bond while they were still in a dire situation. Though her nervousness only lasted a couple of seconds, it did not prevent her mates from knowing her feelings.It was safe to say that after Talia almost crossed the gates of hell, the six domineering alphas of the Night P

    Alpha Adrian released his first order through a reverberating howl which was immediately echoed by Alpha Dustain of the north side, Alpha Fin from the east side, and Alpha Jaxon of the south side.When the army of mongrels and hybrids entered within the hundred-meter radius, the two inverted echelon formations changed into an inverted triangular formation with three major forces led by Alpha Dustain and Alpha Soleyah to the east. In contrast, Alpha Adrian and Alpha Liam led the west side.Alpha Jaxon and Alpha Cameron were guarding the south point of the inverted triangular formation while Alpha Fin and Alpha Rhys were now in close proximity to the two witches. The latter two alphas would be in charge of guarding the two witches, acting as the last defense while the others focused on defending.‘You alright there, darling?’ asked Alpha Rhys. His tone was in a teasing manner, but there was a clear swirl of worry in his gray eyes.Talia, who was still looking up above the cloudless and

  • Rejected Luna's Vengeance    FINALE OF BOOK 1

    Long ago, when the Moon Goddess slept inside the cradle of oblivion, Comba was the only god of the world. Just like how the Moon Goddess blessed the werewolves with their wolf counterparts, Comba blessed the witches with the ability to command the nature at will across the seven seas.The gift given by Comba was the reason why witches stood at the peak of the chain with so much difference in power compared to the races beneath them. It was because of this peculiar and convenient blessing that the witches were both revered and feared by the other races. They revered them for their strength and they feared them for the little sense of empathy towards the lower races. They treated the werewolves as their slaves. For many centuries, werewolves were skinned as their clothes while the werewolves’ heads hanged by their homes and gates as ornaments.It was a time that werewolves almost became instinct. Female werewolves were exploited for sick entertainment while male werewolves were used as

    Clad in an epsilon-ranked uniform of the enemy camp, the shade of red and black did wonders against the snow-like complexion of Dana and the noble elf as they trudged the empty plains of the southern territory. Kicking the piles of snow and stones in her way, Diana cleared the path for Gelong who was walking behind her like a duckling following its mother goose. The heaving sound of a set of constricted lungs made her stop. She turned around as she untied the black tattered satin from her neck before she placed it around Gelong’s frostbitten neck and chin.“We will find a safety spot for you with food and enough heat to last you as you wait for me.” Diana muttered under her breath. A ghost of a translucent smoke escaped from her chapped lips.Upon her words, Gelong lifted her chin to meet a set of orbs staring at him already – making him want to step back like always. “Where are you going? You are not planning to go into this plan without me, aren’t you?”On instinct, his hands found

    Heavy footsteps together with the rattling of chains echoed within the empty corridors of the fortress they were staying at. The silent breathing of the elven folk did not leave unnoticed for Diana as the two of them were on high alert as they trudged within the hallways of the keep. Diana gritted her canines, enough to make her taste her blood trailing down her throat. She did not like, especially Teshin, how they were chain into submission. Had it not been for the remaining logic within her mind, she was sure that the corridor walls would have bathed the blood of the delta-ranked werewolf traitors.Three trecherous delta-ranked werewolves, clad with their uniforms which the insignia of the secret circle was embroidered, wore smug faces as they held the leash that the prisoners were bound to. One of the delta-ranked werewolves, who had a bloody knuckle, pulled the leash he was holding on a whim. On cue, Diana stumbled forward – losing her footing and which made her chin kiss the dust

    Tears started to stream from her unblinking eyes. The color of her eyes darkened that it almost looked like the starless northern night sky as she stared at the enemy alpha, who was grinning down at her.She plead, “Please. Please, give me a chance to be of used to you. That elf can only do so much while I am better tenfold than her.”Crimson ink dropped onto the pristine tiled floor. The tip of the claw grazed Diana’s throat. Upon seeing her crying face, the first alpha, who was apprehensive about everything, was about to step forward when the second alpha, who was constantly courting death, spoke again. “Bring him in.”On cue, the enormous double doors of the throne room opened followed by the rattling of chains and the painful grunts of the person being dragged ensued. Diana, who was not able to turn her head, waited for the person to be brought in front of her. The nagging instinct she had made her quiver with fear.“Let us welcome our very important guest, everyone! Gelong the No

    “You must go while you still can. They will ask me about you after they get their hands on Gelong. Before then, you must leave the place and come back to where you come from. With your ability, I know that you can survive escaping from this place. That place is safer for you than remaining here.” Her nose smelled his unfamiliar scent and a change of his hair color along with the difference in his height. Gone was the scent that Diana was used to.Diana shook his head. “It is too late for that.”“What?”In front of Diana, the fading mirage of Gelong together with the loud thud of the dungeon’s entrance bombarded her. The moment that the heavy footsteps appeared before her, the enemy leader had already disappeared.‘Teleportation? Is this also one of his powers? How did the enemy become this strong?’ Diana’s train of thought snapped when a werewolf invaded her senses.“Move!” A werewolf pushed Diana away from the iron bars which made her stagger. A loud banging sound resonated when the

    A couple of meters away from him, wildflowers started to bloom in the middle of the snowstorm. The trail of flowers led to the trudging person, heading in the direction of the man. Amidst the temperature, his thin cloth barely covered his dainty body paired with his bare feet that buried a mark on the white-colored ground with every step he took, and a pair of eyes glowed like the rising moon.“Took you long enough to come here,” said the man who waited. His back was on him when he stood a meter away from the newly arrived person.“I enjoyed the last of my vacation for I know that the time has come for us to move; we will have no luxury to relax anymore.” The sweet voice answered the man. He took a step and moved ahead, striding past him before he kneeled in front of the tomb. “Rush vanala. It has been years since I last talked to you, but now we can’t do that anymore.” Lumeria, the dryad, heaved a shaky sigh before he continued. “And like what I promised, the wolven race is at stake.

    Diana, who was left alone with the leader of the enemy, started to question why she was there. She somehow realized that it was not sheer curiosity that made him call her—it was something more. And for whatever it was, Diana felt she would not like wherever this ‘talk’ was going.“You are from the Crescent Pack, right? And you’re a hybrid as well.” The enemy leader started to speak without even telling her to raise her head.“Yeah right.” Though her head was bent down, Diana spoke with a clear and calm voice which the enemy leader found quite vexing. His eyes gleamed with malediction.“And when was the last heat of your pretty little shapeshifter? I am quite curious to spawn a hybrid of an elf and a wolf. They said that male elves can conceive as well.” This time, the enemy leader cracked a grin upon seeing the hybrid luna in front of him go rigid. He was ecstatic to know that the infamous hybrid luna’s weakness was someone so trivial —something that should be easy to deal with. Seein

    ‘I have parents to avenge and a pack to protect – from the sidelines. Killing the abominations will be my priority to stop the plausible scenario where the innocent would get killed in a war, not theirs to fight and die for. I need this war to stop escalating, and I need my mate and my vassals to do that. But where are they?’Teshin, after encountering Shananel, answered at the back of her mind. ‘They are nearby, Diana. I can sense them.’Diana wandered her predatory eyes discreetly as her head bent down, but she could not even see a single hair of Dylan’s electric blue eyes or a shade of Gelong’s locks. The scene wherein she saw Gelong being surrounded and enclosed by the phantoms struck her mind.‘I have to go back and find him. All I need is to present this plan to the southern alphas. I bet they will allow me if I told them about my capability to use the offensive flame spells—this way, I can venture out beyond the barrier. After all, I still have the advantage of being a reborn h

    A small table was placed near her with a jar and a cup of water along with a piece of bread and dried meat. There were also some white pieces of cloth folded neatly beside the place as if Dylan was telling her to change her wretched clothes. The lamp that was hanging near the pillar had almost ran out of flame and the dozens of rushed footsteps from different directions right outside her tent were a telltale sign that the war had taken a pause but it was yet to end.“I am in an Alliance encampment,” said Diana as realization dawned upon her. After taking all the pieces together, she was a hundred percentile sure that the blood alpha had brought her in the encampment.‘Then, the abominations and Shananel did not chase us. What about Gelong?’Though staggering, Diana stood from the makeshift bed and walked around – her bare feet did not deter upon the contact with the cold ground. Her frantic eyes landed on the crescent-shaped blade which was now clean compared to what she remembered. T
